Surrealist painter Salvador Dali’s iconic moustache is intact, 28 years after his death!

The artist’s mummified remains were so well preserved that his moustache remained in place

Surrealist painter Salvador Dali’s trademark moustache is still intact 28 years after his death! This ‘surreal’ news was released by his foundation following the exhumation of his body to settle a paternity claim against the artist.

Official who were present during the exhumation were astonished to see the artist’s mummified remains preserved so well. His famous moustache had survived the decomposing process and the passage of time; it was found in “its classic shape of ten past ten”.

Narcis Bardalet, who was responsible for embalming the body 28 years ago, was present at the grave when the body was exhumed for DNA testing.
